CVE-2024-35862
It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431) It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500) It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel when handling socket buffer fragments. This flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503, CVE-2026-46300) Qualys discovered that a race condition existed in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel when privileged processes are exiting. An unprivileged local attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2026-46333) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - RISC-V architecture; - Cryptographic API; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - NVME drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - USB over IP driver; - File systems infrastructure; - HFS+ file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - SMB network file system; - IPv6 networking; - Netfilter; - Tracing infrastructure; - io_uring subsystem; - Timer subsystem; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Ethernet bridge; - Ceph Core library; - IPv4 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - M
CSIRTS triage
